Nathan Patterson, Bongani Zungu and Calvin Bassey will be able to take part in the Ibrox trophy day celebrations after the ‘Rangers Five’ were issued with immediate four-match bans for their Covid-19 breach. The bans will come as a relief to the players after seeing Ibrox team-mates Jordan Jones and George Edmundson banned for seven games for a similar breach in November. The players were charged with breaching the SFA’s disciplinary rule 24, which requires players to comply with coronavirus rules. They were also accused of breaching rule 77, which covers the failure “to act in the best interests of association football”. An Ibrox source told the PA news agency: “We are considering all our options and will make further comment if required.”
